Father to fight killer’s name change in Brockton court

Charles Jaynes was convicted of killing 10-year-old

A Brockton District Court judge will hear a petition Tuesday from a convicted child killer who wants his name legally changed.

According to The Enterprise, Charles Jaynes wants to have his name changed to Manasseh-Invictus Auric Thutmose V. because he says it reflects his Wiccan beliefs.

Jaynes, 37, of Brockton, is currently serving a life sentence in Old Colony Correctional Facility in Bridgewater for the second-degree murder of Jeffrey Curley. He will be eligible for parole in nine years.

Jaynes and Salvatore Siccari, who was convicted of first-degree murder in the case, lured the boy into a car in Cambridge back in 1997. When the boy fought back against their sexual advances, Jaynes stuffed a gasoline-soaked rag in his mouth, killing him.

Robert Curley, the boy’s father, is fighting Jaynes’ most recent request and said he’ll be in the Brockton courtroom Tuesday to object in person.

“He shouldn’t be able to hide behind a different name,” Curley told The Enterpise on Friday. “Somebody needs to stand up and stop him.”

Jaynes petitioned Plymouth Probate and Family Court in June to have his named changed.

“He thinks he may be able to get out of jail someday, and he may, so people should know his name,” Curley said. “He has a track record of using multiple aliases. He’s the master at doing this type of thing.”

Sicari, 36, was sentenced to life in prison without parole in November 1998. He is currently in MCI-Norfolk.

“Charles Jaynes never showed remorse for murdering, sexually assaulting and kidnapping my son, Jeffrey,” Curley wrote in his objection to the court. “It is clear that he still has no remorse and is seeking to hide from his crimes.”
